  • Publication number: 20190300934
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for analyzing the variable region repertoire of the T-cell receptors (TCR) or the B-cell receptors (BCR) of a subject, said method including: (1) a step for providing a nucleic acid sample that is amplified from RNA obtained from the subject using one-step reverse transcription template-switching PCR and that includes the nucleic acid sequences of a plurality of types of T-cell receptors (TCR) or B-cell receptors (BCR); (2) a step for determining the nucleic acid sequences included in the nucleic acid sample; and (3) a step for calculating the frequencies of occurrence of individual genes or combinations thereof on the basis of the determined nucleic acid sequences and deriving the TCR or BCR repertoire of the subject.

  • Patent number: 7790053
    Abstract: A low-loss Mn—Zn ferrite comprising Fe, Mn and Zn as main components, Co, Ca and Si as first sub-components, and at least one Va-group metal as a second sub-component: Fe and Zn being 53-56% by mol (calculated as Fe2O3) and 1-9% by mol (calculated as ZnO), respectively, and Mn being the balance, based on the total amount (100% by mol) of the main components; Co and Ca being 500-5000 ppm (calculated as Co3O4) and 3000 ppm or less (calculated as CaCO3), respectively, by mass based on the total amount of the main components, a mass ratio of Ca (calculated as CaCO3) to Si (calculated as SiO2) being 2 or more; Ta being 250 ppm or more (calculated as Ta2O5) among the Va-group metals; the ferrite having an average crystal grain size of less than 3.2 ?m and volume resistivity ? of 1 ?·m or more, and a power loss Pcv of 350 kW/m3 or less in a range of 0° C.-120° C. at a frequency of 2 MHz and a magnetic flux density of 25 mT.
